Logan's Run (1976, 2007) [original and upcoming re-adaptation]

Welcome to the 23rd Century. The perfect world of total pleasure. ...there's just one catch.

I'm glad I found this forum! I love this movie... albeit it has some hinky parts to it to be sure. Especially since it made it to Network Air a LONG time ago and was hacked to bits.

As to Box, in the movie... Roscoe Lee Brown does a great number as his voice and providing the face for it under that foil mask! Still, there were scenes that were cut that still have yet to be put back in on any release I have seen (although, since it's hit the $5 rack at Walmart on DVD, I seriously doubt Criterion or the like will get around to it! AUGH!).

Accepting death (renewal) at 30, as opposed to 21 in the book was an interesting premise to be sure as far as population control went. I do agree that there were things which would have helped the movie, like go back and give some background on the "Little War" that brought the youth of the world into control and all that.

And someone has posted a "What Would They Do" item... and they are right. These people are totally hedonistic (Ghod love 'em!) and the idea of having to "grow" food or fend for themselves is totally wrong.

There is a rumor that William F. Nolan is working on a remake of the movie based almost entirely on the book itself. I would KILL to see that happen since I still have my fifth generation copy of the book (Kudos to suggesting EBAY to that poster... it's where I found mine a long time ago) as there were elements in it which I think would make a great movie in this time that they simply couldn't do back then. Probably for both technological and politically correct reasons.

Either way... while I don't own a sandman uniform or wear a gauze kaftan around the house on my day off... I still like both the movie and book, and enjoy them from time to time.

As far as a remake - I hear it's a definite go with Bryan Singer at the helm, writing and eventually directing (before or after X-Men III I know not), and this in today, Singer is hoping to cast Matt Damon in the lead role.

Thanks! By the way, this movie is NOT on my worst-movie list... I'd rather watch it TEN times than have to sit through "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" ONCE (again).

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, I saw that when I was babysitting last Thursday, lol. I definitely agree with you on ALL aspects of your first post, though I quite like it, no matter how crappily it was made. Im just saying thank the godess that theres a remake coming
